Performance boost to ST’ cost-efficient STM32C0 series
STM32 developers can now get more memory and extra features in STM32C0 microcontrollers (MCUs) to support more sophisticated functionality in resource-constrained and cost-sensitive embedded applications.
Bringing up to 128Kbyte of Flash and 24Kbyte of RAM, the STM32C071 MCUs also add USB Host and crystal-less Device as well as TouchGFX support. With USB on-chip, designers can easily save at least one external clock and four decoupling capacitors to cut the bill of materials and ease PCB layout. Also, having only one power-supply pair helps to simplify the PCB design. New product designs can become slimmer, trimmer, and more competitive.
STM32C0 MCUs feature the Arm Cortex-M0+ core and can replace legacy 8-bit or 16-bit MCUs in equipment like home appliances, simple industrial controls, power tools, and IoT devices. As a cost-effective 32-bit option, they provide more performance, memory, and peripheral integration for functions such as user-interface control, as well as other basic controls, timing, computation, and communications.
Also, developers can accelerate development with STM32C0 MCUs by taking advantage of the powerful STM32 ecosystem that provides extensive tools, software packs, and evaluation hardware. And, of course, connecting with the STM32 user community. Scalability is another strong feature as the STM32C0 series shares key attributes with ST’s higher-performing STM32G0 MCUs, including the Cortex-M0+ core, peripheral IP, and most compact pinout with maximum I/O ratio.
The STM32C071 MCUs are in production now. ST’s longevity program ensures STM32C0 MCUs will be available for up to 10 years from the date of purchase, to support ongoing production and field-maintenance requirements.
